Fotografije koje dokazuju da depresija nema lice

U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama septembar je proglašen nacionalnim mjesecom za prevenciju samoubistava, a tokom proteklih sedmica društvene mreže su bile preplavljene su pričama koje u isto vrijeme i rastužuju i osnažuju.

Postoji čak i haštag #faceofdepression (lice depresije), a na taj način želi da se ukaže na ovu bolest koja ne smije da se ignoriše.

Kako izgleda depresivna osoba? Kako izgleda osoba sa suicidnim mislima? Vjerovatno nam je svima na umu scena u kojoj uplakana osoba leži na podu kupatila, ali realnost je skroz drugačija. Osobe svoju bolest kriju duboko u sebi i žive sa njom, što znači da niko ne može ni da prepozna depresivnu osobu.

Čester Benington, pjevač Linkin Parka koji je izvršio samoubistvo vješanjem, samo 36 sati prije nego što je oduzeo sebi život se smijao i djelovao je sretno. Tako da nečiji izraz lica nije pokazatelj ničega. Jedostavno, ako primijetite naznake da se neko bori sa depresijom, pitajte ga to pre nego što bude prekasno.

U nastavku možete da vidite primjere koji najbolje dokazuju da „depresija nema lice”

Tw: talk of suicidal tendencies. . "You don't look suicidal"… I remember these words coming from the Dr's mouth right after I'd just told him that I was having thoughts of suicide. I remember in that moment my 14 year old self felt invalidation, dumb and embarrassed; something no one in that mindset should have to feel. I left feeling confused, what was I supposed to look like? A bottle of pills in one hand and a suicide note in the other? Those words nearly cost me my life, that judgment, those stupid stupid words. . I remember the night just last year that I spiralled and overdosed in my living room. I remember thinking to myself "I can't get help, I don't look suicidal, I don't fit the bill, they'll laugh at me". I remember thinking I must have looked the part, must have been wearing the suicidal costume properly when I woke up in Resus as all around me were concerned, worried and sad faces. By then this could have been too late, i might not have been there to see those sad faces if my partner hadn't of saved my life. . This, this is the danger of thinking mental health has a 'face',a 'look'. This is how stigma, ignorance and judgement towards mental health/suicide affects those who are poorly. . In both these photos i'm suicidal, perhaps not in the same way but on both of these days I had suicidal thoughts racing around. . Stop the judgment. Stop the stigma.
